Factory Sunroof ???

I am thinking of buying a 2002 - 1973, and the guy reckons it has a factory sunroof, although it has a wind visor thing on the roof and I have never seen one of these on a 2002 before, Was there a factory sunroof with a small windshield?

Cheers ;)

If you are talking about the plastic deflector that glues to the roof, I don't think that is original, although the sunroof probably is. If it has a little metal pop up one, I think those are original, but I don't have one, and I have seen few with them. Also, if anyone knows how I can get one of those and put it on my car, that would be great!

Thanks!

Its tough to see in this pic, but the deflector on my car is an original BMW item. It even has a very small roundel in the corner. For the record, it isn't glued on to the car. It has 2 small brackets, with a screw, and a plastic nut.

Learn something new every day. I am talking about the little metal pop up one though.

you are probably talking about the plastic , smoked brown, wind deflector: i have one on my Sahara- I think it was an optional piece and it is held on to roof by bracket, not glue. BUT: if you are talking about a 1 inch high metal deflector that pops up at the front of the sunroof opening, those are correct and very rare on 2002s. I have been looking for one of those. I saw a perfect one the other day at Palo Alto meet. It is OE BMW equuipment. I am told the Bavaria deflector will work on 2002s. Anyone have one they will sell??///

horribly expensive, yes.

they're off a late-sixties 911. Porsche (and almost everybody else) used roughly the same Golde-manufactured sunroof(s) as BMW until Webasto developed the sliding-pop-up roof and all but drove them off the market as far as OE fitment goes.

I've got the part numbers somewhere if you're really curious - but be warned; somebody did a price check on 'em a while back with Porsche, and they came out to three figures per piece. There are, I think, at least three pieces to the thing.

To boot, word on the street (Mike Self, wanna chime in on this one? I know you've got one...) is that they actually make the wind noise *louder*. So they basically just look cool.

'Course, hell, I'm all for that, too.

it does work to take the air out of the cabin. the noise level is not really MORE, it is actually just different... a different tone if you will.

Here is a photo of the pop-up wind deflector on my 73 if I can figure out how to include it in this post.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
